Fucking hell....

It turns out, after I wandered (clothed) into the kitchen, that the tree-surgeons were in our garden. Heart-pounding, I nipped out to ask what the fuck was going on. Only, a little more politely than that, as they had chain-saws.

Turns out that the next door neighbours complained to the landlord about an over-hanging tree, so apparently the surgeons were at the house assessing it yesterday (which I missed as I was out all day) and that the letting agents should have called us to let us know it was happening. Which they haven't. I'm debating whether or not to call and complain about finding strange men in the back garden.

On the plus side, they're taking away their branches and it looks like they might even be going to trim the shrubbery too, which would be very nice.

I'm very surprised they didn't warn you!
Do you speak to your neighbours? I'm surprised they went straight to the landlord.

Get the guy to carve in some nice ducks or something into your shrubbery?

No, we don't speak to the neighbours and this has now panicked Dave into getting me to go into the front garden and pick up any rubbish which may have blown into it. *rolls eyes* Am not overjoyed. I don't think being "neighbourly" comes naturally to me at all.

I think they went straight to the landlord as they know him from when he used to live here with his mum. Again, that's panicked Dave. He'll have me washing the windows before long. I cannot wait till we own property :( I don't think they did trim the shrubbery but the garden looks tons brighter without the tree which appears to have been removed completely.
